Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in the design. The coin was minted with an incorrect image of Anthony Nesty, a Surinamese swimmer who won a gold medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Instead of featuring a picture of Nesty, the coin bears an image of another swimmer, who is not identified. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is considered a rare and valuable piece.
